<div class="para"><p>This is a quick'n'dirty tool to convert git logs to GNU ChangeLog
format.</p></div>
<div class="para"><p>The tool invokes <em>git log</em> internally unless you pipe a log to it.
Thus, typically you would use it as follows:</p></div>

<div class="para"><p>If you don't want git2cl to invoke git log internally, you can use it
